Clarke and Bingle were engaged in 2008 and were among Australia\u2019s most scrutinised couples. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s why there was such intense interest in how the relationship ended. <\/p>\n
Former Sunrise host Armytage did not even make it through the question before Clarke shut it down.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m asking for a friend because I have an old engagement ring that I\u2019m not sure what to do with it,\u201d Armytage said before Clarke responded: \u201cNo, I never flushed any ring down any toilet.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalk about completely made up, blatant lies, and people still believed it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The World Cup winner also shook his head at a follow up suggestion about journalists and a plumbing truck being parket out the front of his Bondi home. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god. In the middle of Bondi, there\u2019s a van that\u2019s got a plumber sign on it,\u201d he said in mock indignation. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat must mean Michael Clark flushed a ring down a toilet. What a story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Worthington has been in married to actor Sam Worthington since 2014.<\/p>\n
Clarke moved on from his relationship with Worthington and married Kyly Boldy in 2012. <\/p>\n
They welcomed their daughter, Kelsey Lee in November 2015. <\/p>\n
They privately separated in late 2019. <\/p>\n
Clarke then dated fitness influencer Pip Edwards in 2020. Their relationship ended in 2021. <\/p>\n
Clarke\u2019s romantic life then returned to the front pages of newspapers when footage of him with ex-partner Jade Yarbrough went viral in 2023. <\/p>\n
Public video appeared to show an argument at Noosa Park in Queensland where she reportedly accused Clarke of cheating on her before slapping him.<\/p>\n
Clarke and current partner Arabella Sherbourne went public with their relationship in 2024. <\/p>\n
The cricketer has repeatedly spoken publicly about his admiration for Sherbourne and how close she has become with his daughter. <\/p>\n
He told Armytage: \u201cI have 50 per cent custody of my daughter, so those seven days I have her is the best seven days of my life. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, I don\u2019t want to miss a day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s on school holidays now, for example. And you\u2019re finding stuff to do [together]. But being a parent, it\u2019s not all rainbows and butterflies, there\u2019s tough days as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love that challenge. I love that I\u2019ve got a little girl because that\u2019s very different to when I think about me, as a boy growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n
